SchizophrenicMC Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Whats the difference between the DYRL launch arm and the Macross 7 launch arms? Exactly! Perhaps, I should have italicized that or something; It was sarcastically pointing out the launch arm adaptors.

Vostok 7 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 vf 11 next to yf 19 and 21 Why are the tail fins out, and why do they look bigger than we've seen before? Vostok 7
anime52k8 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Why are the tail fins out, and why do they look bigger than we've seen before? Vostok 7 because the guy's who set up these displays never know how to transform these right, and you're projecting your desire for the fins to be larger onto an image that offers that possibility through being blurry when really there's nothing different. sorry to crush your hopes and dreams.
edwin3060 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 They listened to SDK and those are actually the folded tail fins? Seriously, it looks mistransformed-- just look at the wing glove area sticking up past the shoulders--- it's not supposed to be like that!
Cent Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 sorry to crush your hopes and dreams. You're getting too good at that
kaiotheforsaken Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Mistransformed and blurry or not, it looks freaking amazing.
M'Kyuun Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 As do I. Smallish tailfins don't really bother me. This thing won't have shopping cart casters for main gears, and battroid is pretty much kibble -free. Overall, it looks pretty good. I'll be getting one to round out my M+ collection.
edwin3060 Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Looking at the Yamato stands thread the VF-11B seems to have been sized back to the original proportions i.e. VF-1 size. At least in Battroid mode. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...mp;#entry720767
Kelsain Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Wow, it looks great. Is it just me or do the feet look MUCH better in those photos?
edwin3060 Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Wow, it looks great. Is it just me or do the feet look MUCH better in those photos? Hmm compared to what?
indigofx28 Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) just thought the pix belonged to this thread even though it's a yamato display....ing the VF-11B Edited February 26, 2009 by indigofx28
UN Spacy Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Beautiful. BTW. Graham, has Yamato got back to you about changing the kite color?
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Wow, it looks great. Is it just me or do the feet look MUCH better in those photos? What I noticed is that the tailfins look better. If the tailfins are bigger this will bode well for a VFX-2 Ravens repaint, because the primary part that contributes to how awesome it looks is the art on the tail fins.
Scream Man Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 i continue to be impressed. And hey! We get to see the heatshield mecganic! i guess it all comes down from the top, not split in the middle. That makes sense to me, it'll look better when it's out that way. i kinda prefer the UN Kites in Red, but i know that isnt show accurate.
danth Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Come on, Yamato: give us two pairs of tail fins! Then everyone wins.
Jasonc Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I'm happy with the way this is turning out. I could still go for the tailfins being a little bit more extended, but then again, I've been fooled by the official pics before. I'm definitely getting one. I can only hope that the economy makes the dollar just a bit stronger so my money goes a bit further.
VT 1010 Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 The VF-11B looks great in those photos, but the red kites are still bugging me.
anime52k8 Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 chances are they'll fix it, but their not going to go and change the marking on a test shot/prototype they've already finished.
edwin3060 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I'm impressed that they managed to tampo print the macross logo just below the cockpit.
Ignacio Ocamica Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Can't wait any longer!!! Thanks for the new pics
Dante74 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Looks like we'll be getting a new stand for the VF-11. (No, not a newsstand idiots, a NEW STAND as in display stand! )
QuinJester Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Looks like we'll be getting a new stand for the VF-11. (No, not a newsstand idiots, a NEW STAND as in display stand! ) That's the new generic Yamato stand that they're releasing; I don't believe the VF-11 is going to actually come with it though.
Dobber Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Holy Farking Schnit!!! That is a thing of beauty!!! I'm so excited to get this! Just look at those gorgeous lines in fighter mode!! Chris
MacrossJunkie Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I'm glad Yamato was able to keep the fighter mode looking pretty sleek despite the landing gear bay being in relatively the same area as the 19. Supposedly, the landing gear made it necessary to make the 19's gullet so big, but it doesn't seem to be the case here.
DarkReaper Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) The Spacy logo still is red instead of low-viz. Looking at the pics the shoulder hinge problems seems to be solved by swinging the two spikes of the backplate out of the way. At least I don't know what else they could be good for. Edited March 3, 2009 by DarkReaper
badboy00z Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 The chest in battroid mode looks really big. Makes the legs look small and short. Compromises I guess. Wish they make the feet bigger though.
NSJ23 Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I can't complain about the SDF-1 price any more looks like i'll be spending $550 in just March and April on only two lovely birds. dang that VF-11B looks great.
edwin3060 Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Barring any QC issues, I'd say we have another winner from Yamato! I'm glad they finally displayed it without the dorsal tail fins with the Super packs on. I'm a little worried about the insignia on the heat shield though-- will it be worn away after repeated transformations?
MacrossJunkie Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 If past releases are any indication, I don't think it will be easy to wear off the insignia on the heat shield. Yamato's paint applications and tampo prints on plastic parts seem very durable and are sometimes a pain to remove when you're trying to.
UN Spacy Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) Graham. Will Yamato be changing the kites to low-viz look? Edited March 4, 2009 by UN Spacy
